#Bottled Water

Good to know, but the bottle expires? So, if the bottle is breaking down, and releasing toxins into the water, then the water isn't good, either. Six of one, half dozen of the other.

Here is a little snippet of nice environmental news. The percentage of people who regularly use a refillable water bottle in the UK has risen from 20% in 2015 to 60% in 2022.

Bottled water diverts water from natural springs needed to replenish streams and rivers; produces huge amounts of litter as the bottles are rarely recycled; and wastes an astonishing amount of fuel being transported around.

If you live somewhere with safe tap water, making a habit of carrying a bottle to refill will save you money, and is an easy action to help the environment. Plus it annoys corporations! They can only sell you a water bottle once every 5 years or so.

The average liter of bottled water has nearly a quarter million invisible pieces of ever so tiny nanoplastics, detected and categorized for the first time by a microscope using dual lasers.

Scientists long figured there were lots of these microscopic plastic pieces, but until researchers at Columbia and Rutgers universities did their calculations they never knew how many or what kind.  Looking at five samples each of three common bottled water brands, researchers found particle levels ranged from 110,000 to 400,000 per liter, averaging around 240,000 according to a study in Monday’s Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

These are particles that are less than a micron in size. There are 25,400 microns — also called micrometers because it is a millionth of a meter — in an inch.  A human hair is about 83 microns wide.

Previous studies have looked at slightly bigger microplastics that range from the visible 5 millimeters, less than a quarter of an inch, to one micron.  About 10 to 100 times more nanoplastics than microplastics were discovered in bottled water, the study found.

Much of the plastic seems to be coming from the bottle itself and the reverse osmosis membrane filter used to keep out other contaminants, said study lead author Naixin Qian, a Columbia physical chemist.  She wouldn’t reveal the three brands because researchers want more samples before they single out a brand and want to study more brands.  Still, she said they were common and bought at WalMart.  ...

Plastic Particles in Bottled Water

Scientists find alarming amount of plastic in bottled water Scientists at Columbia and Rutgers have found that bottled water contains high amounts of nanoplastics. There is concern among some scientists that nanoplastics could be small enough to enter the bloodstream and be transported to organs, including the brain. David Schechter reports. Jan 23, 2024

The researchers found that, on average, a liter of bottled water included about 240,000 tiny pieces of plastic. About 90% of these plastic fragments were nanoplastics. This total was 10 to 100 times more plastic particles than seen in earlier studies, which mostly focused on larger microplastics.

At a Glance Researchers developed an imaging technique that detected thousands of tiny bits of plastic in common single-use bottles of water. The technique can help to shed light on the presence and impact of extremely small particles called nanoplastics, which are widespread but poorly understood.

Nanoplastics found in bottled drinking water; 240,000 plastic bits in 1 litre water, says study Scientists have been warning that a bottled drinking contains plastic - but what is shocking is the amounts that are present in it. Research done by the National Academy of Science has revealed that a liter of water in a plastic bottle contains an average of 240,000 fragments of plastic. This is 100 times more than the previous estimates. The study is the first to evaluate bottled water for the presence of nanoplastic. Nanoplastics pose a greater threat to human health than microplastics. Scientists say that they are small enough to penetrate human cells enter the bloodstream and impact organs nanoplastics are also known to pass through the placenta into the bodies of unborn babies. Scientists have long suspected the presence of plastic Nano particles in bottled water but they lack the technology to identify them to overcome this scientists invented a new microscopy technique and programmed a data driven algorithm to analyze bottled water for the presence of nanoplastic.
